Jessica rae changes in how agriculture exports are handled in argentina. Could end up hurting farmers here in the us. Monday. The countrys newly elected president announced massive cuts to export taxes on agriculture goods. And the move is causing uncertainy in the grain market. Abc9 News ReporterDeborah Souverain explains how that could effect us here in siouxland. Massive cuts to export taxes. On agriculture goods in argentina could create a problem for us farmers. Its definitely going to put more product in the world market and its going to be competitive for u. S. Producers. And the competition will be fierce. Argentina is the Worlds Largest exporter of soybean derivatives. And as of monday the country will be able to export those products. At a lower tax rate of 30 percent. Down from 35 percent. This is going to put them a lot more competitive in the world market, especiallly with the stockpiles that theyve been holding.

Also includes the complete elimination of export taxes on ag commodities, such as corn, wheat, and beef. Experts say the tax overhaul could create a supply surplus in the Global Market that may drive down prices.

Said chris benson, director of appliede agriculture and food studies at morningside college. Argentinian tax agency. Afip. Estimat es that farmers are holding as much as 11 point 4 billion dollars of grain that will now likely enter the market. And as argentina awaits. A possible devaluation of its currency. More changes may come. So i think we could easily be into multiple years here of lower prices in relation to what weve seen in the last five years, said chris benson. Jessica rae argentinas to gradually reduce export taxes on soybeans to zero percent by 2022. Experts say. Us grain markets will definitely be affected by the change.
